All of the Mexican food stands are finished and ready for release. Just waiting on a lang file update to get published that they depend on, but they'll be on ZooBerry soon! Moving on to finishing my other projects. I was working on a Backstage Megapack and I think I've learned a lot from the food stands how to match the artstyle with the game a bit better, so I'll be redoing all of the renders before release. Here are the final animal transport vehicle graphics:

Yeah I was just thinking then other day that Vondell already made some great looking port-o-potties. Coincidentally, not a sentence I ever thought I’d need to write out.4 points

Working hard on the backstage props pack and have finished several already. It's actually enjoyable because I don't have to worry about animating anything. I haven't shared everything here so I'll leave some for surprises on release. One thing I wanted to do though was make these idle stacked animal crates so you can stage an area that looks like it's where they prep these crates, but I didn't want to use the sprites from the game because I wanted the shadows to look right when they're stacked. So I modeled one: Here it is rendered: Close enough I think lol. Happy to hear suggestions for backstage props you'd like to see. These are fun to make.4 points

I found this effect by accident last night. I basically was putting algae from here over water and didn't realize I had a block of aquatic ground mix from this pack underneath it. I decided to play around to see what the other ground cover paths look like with it and found some cool effects. Here's some of the ones I've tested that I like. The other pics are it in use with rainforest restroom/attractions areas.

Today I modeled a sandbag thinking to make a pile of them on a palette: But when I rendered it just looked like a pile of seal corpses so anyway that's not happening.

Hawaiian Restaurant Author: Devona (original graphics) and Mark Bell (original configuration) Guests will appreciate being able to enjoy Hawaiian food and watch the hula dancers. Created before the release of the Dinosaur Digs (DD) expansion, the original zip used an exe that overrode the ingame dll and used IDs that Blue Fang used in the DD expansion for fences. With updates from casey and Jay, we are now releasing it back into play. The messages are in langZA03.dll. The purchase menu name is "Hawaiian Restaurant", while the purchase menu tooltip uses the more specific name "Aloha Grill Restaurant". Enjoy. (Configuration notes: removes money; removes any trash; can also be seen in the User Food/Drink purchase menu filter.) Original Release Date: February 2, 2002 Current ztd date: July 4, 2026 Updated: In 2009 by casey to fix the graphics so that the entrance is in the correct position in both front views. Updated in 2009, 2019, and 2026 by casey and Jay to have the animation speeds match for all views, to have it also appear in the User Food/Drink purchase menu filter, to have the messages no longer conflict with DD messages, to have a proper restaurant guest thought, to increase the purchase price and use costs to be more in-line with ZT's restaurant, to remove money and any trash a guest may have, to add ZT's restaurant sound, and to remove unnecessary files and configuration lines.3 points -
Galapagos Sea Lion by Jordan MK has been updated. Updated on July 9, 2026 by Fern and Jay to show the preferred foliage tooltip for females and young, to link to ZT's sounds instead of using copies, to have the animal do the same behaviors as ZT's sea lion, to give ZT more time to check if tranquilizer darts hit escaped animals, to prevent the animal from standing or lying on top of water, to tell ZT that English is the default language for the animal's messages, to remove unnecessary spaces in the animal info, and to remove unnecessary files and configuration lines. Note: This animal can do tricks in shows for tricks that do not use toys. Although the trick list for the animal also includes tricks that use toys of ZT's sea lions, this animal cannot use those toys unless hacks are created for the toys.3 points

We're expanding the scope of this pack to be more about sustainability than just windmills and solar panels. I've finished some compost bins that function identically to the compost building except users wait outside instead of inside, since, well, there is no inside.

I thought my guests really, really loved this one Swim Shack experience. I then bouy fenced to stop them climbing up the beach instead of exiting thru the shack. I remembered my beautiful yellow & green themed zoo years ago where guests milled around rather exiting the water show area. So I took down a couple squares of floating fence next to the shack. I don't if they were very pruned or very tired but I counted 15 dashing across the sand and taking the exit. Hope they got the right clothes.2 points

Yep you gotta watch that. Leave even a 1/4 tile anywhere round the edge and they will all pile onto it and then be stuck cos they will not get back in the water. It is quite amazing how many peeps the game can trap on a tile this way. Fun to watch when you clear the path to escape. It has to do with swimming being an Attraction. Once a guest has used an attraction it does not repeat it. So once they leave the water the Attraction visit is over so they will not get back in the water.2 points

Some people is right about their criticism on Jurassic Park, but for most of us, this was our first attachment ever around palaeonthology and dinosaurs in general... So, let me do a humble remembrance In memoriam Sam Neill Two dinosaurs I wanted to import since some time ago: Tsintaosaurus Miragaia You might call these two the spiritual successor of SaiLords of Land & Water since they were part of the original idea. I'm probably adding some more and releasing them as the ultimate version of the pack that I swore to and never finished. Until then, happy download. I expect nobody else dies for me to catch some willpower. ZwMiragaiaV1.ztd ZwTsintaoV1.ztd

Forest Elephant by rightEyElash has been updated. Updated by Jay on July 10, 2026 to link to ZT's graphics and sounds instead of using copies, to have the animal walk slower than the speed it runs, to allow showing the preferred foliage tooltip for females and young, to have the young like the same type of exhibit as the adults, to have the animal do sounds in the same situations as ZT's African elephant, to allow ZT to check more often if an escaped animal was hit by a tranquilizer dart, to remove unnecessary files and configuration lines, and to fix grammar, punctuation, spacing, and a typo in the animal info. Notes: The configuration of this elephant is mostly the same as ZT's African Elephant. Its behavior might seem different because of ZT's intentional randomness. But there are a few differences. This forest elephant wants rainforest things instead of savannah. Its speed is slower than the African Elephant, because forest elephants in real life tend to be smaller and also have to move slower through forests than in open savannahs. This forest elephant does not go over jumpable fences. This forest elephant costs more. Like the African Elephant, this elephant wants elephant shelters and swinging log toy. But those are configured to be used only by ZT's elephants. So the forest elephant will not use them, but will be happy with them in the exhibit. Also, many user made animals that were made in the early days of ZT are configured to like itself by a high amount. That is true with this one as well. The problem with that is the smiley face may be given when it shouldn't. Like the African Elephant, the forest elephant wants no more than 6 in its exhibit. Adding more will give a smiley face when it shouldn't and might seem like everything is okay when it is not. That was not changed when this animal was updated in case there are existing zoos that are relying on it. So try not to have more than 6 in an exhibit.2 points

From Jay: ZT is notorious for having bad staff AI. When something needs to be done, it often picks a farther away zookeeper/scientist/marine specialist rather than a closer one. And once it picks a staff member to do something, it does not change its mind, even if another staff member is picked up and plopped right next to what needs to be done. To minimize problems, I do 3 things when I create zoos. I have all zookeepers, scientists, and marine specialists assigned to exhibits. I do not have any unassigned zookeepers, scientists, or marine specialists. I also put the exhibit gates and tank ladders halfway along the longest side. That minimizes distances from the gate/ladder to the furthest corners, allowing staff to get to what is needed as soon as possible. Since I don't use research hacks, I also turn on the staff training/animal care research categories before anything else. I usually turn on the one that improves animal fertility first, and then the other when the first is done. Then I turn on the other research categories when those are done.2 points

From Jay: Trash bins, including picPbfTrashCanBear.ztd, are configured to allow access from all 4 sides. ZT will have the guest use the closest unblocked side, though usually (but not always) tries to keep the guest on a path. Therefore it doesn't actually matter which direction the trash bin faces. But when there is a concern, rotate the scenery purchase menu view so that the benches face to the bottom right. That will make all the objects in the scenery purchase menu have their main view (called the SE view) facing to the bottom right.2 points

I always keep this in my folder for every zoo because it's so practical. Found that it can be use in combination with Vondell's green algae to create a swampy effect.1 point -

Forest Elephant by rightEyElash Many people think that there are just 2 species of elephant, the African and the Asian elephants. But in fact recently a third was given the status of a full species. The Forest Elephant is found in the rain forests of central Africa. It is smaller than the savannah, or Bush Elephant, and also has rounder ears. It is equipped with straighter tusks that do not curve outwards, which allow it to walk through dense rainforest without having to worry about getting them stuck in the vegetation. This animal is made from the regular African Elephant. It is just a stat change, which allows it to be placed in a rainforest environment. This animal might come as a pleasant surprise to you when it comes to which original animal it is compatible with.

For my white peafowl exhibit, I started with rainforest terrain then added fresh water and gray stone until I got the red smilies. I used the Elephant Ear Tree and the Limestone Rock. They're very happy :D1 point
